be she'd have to go through what she went through julie baby's mother died at stafford in what she calls appalling circumstances but when she blew the whistle on the hospital's practice says she was faced with a cover up all the evidence was there that the hospital stuffs was failing and yet the that was never shared with the public and i believe the same as in all the hospitals it's so much that a string of senior officials failed to take seriously data which showed the hospital significantly higher than average death rates relatives of over a thousand people never got to see them discharged from the hospital patients died needlessly off the suffering a catalogue of neglect left in their own excrement dehydrated and without painkillers it's the biggest scandal to hit the national health service in recent years but with budgets being slashed and red tape preoccupying hospital manages

dot com. also for you their moscow self styled a black devil has been hunted down by the police following two years of posting videos on the web of him driving his plaid porsche recklessly in the city capital to find out on line how he was eventually apprehended. a new federal agency lie detector policy is being discussed by president obama's administration that's in the wake of allegations that authorities went beyond their legal limits storing the screenings of thousands of job applicants and employees of the federal government which is more important i took a wider look at whether american security officials are overstepping their boundaries by making people disclose unnecessary personal information. for more than three decades john sullivan worked as a polygraph examiner for america's central intelligence agency today the retired cia employee is offering some strong opinions about the nation's lie detector

policy too many honest people are too many people who should be passing the tests aren't and and there's no there's no accountability for the. last year more than seventy three thousand americans were reportedly required to undergo polygraph tests in order to get or keep jobs with the federal government according to an investigation by mcclatchy newspapers a growing number of u.s. agencies are asking employees and applicants intimate questions that extend way beyond the realm of national security probing matters such as sexual conduct financial matters and past personal relationships a woman was pressured to talk about her experience being molested as a child and when the polar bear for said that he refused to go on with the interrogation he alleges that he was pressured to go back in and continue

interrogating or scientists found that. polygraphs aren't reliable enough to prevent innocent people from failing and deceptive candidates from passing i think it's important to understand that the polygraph is not just. for screening it's an interrogation tool lisa ribicoff is an independent polygraph examiner and investigator who uses the polygraph program designed by homeland security she contends that it's ninety eight percent accurate i do think that there are some questions pertaining to some emotional aspects and personal situations should not be included but i do understand why they're included on the basis of that the government needs to see how exactly what their breaking point is however applicants who are denied a coveted position after failing a polygraph are prohibited from accessing the records of their interrogation and are often barred from contesting the results were filing complaints in federal court in two thousand and four the cia veteran who conducted lie detector

interrogations for thirty one years failed his own screening there was absolutely no question in my mind that the test was wrong. was a terrible test sullivan lost his security clearance and was denied a job with a federal contracting agency he claims his examiner falsified the results possible retribution for solving his book detailing america's polygraph system the obama administration is now promising to draft a new national polygraph policy that would prevent agencies from pushing legal or ethical boundaries during screenings but at the moment the program has no oversight or accountability meaning tens of thousands of u.s. citizens will continue getting personally probed in the name of national security marine up or not our team in new york. there are many international issues where russia and the u.s. are often poles apart on iran and syria of course being among them after the break

our team talks to russia's envoy to anyone about what the main poland points of contention are between moscow and washington and how they hamper progress in resolving world conflicts. some countries want oil but that's kid stuff who needs oil when you can secure the world's largest supply of trucker darrow so-to located exclusively in sweden and meeting sweden for absolutely no logical reason is a possible you say well supreme commander of the swedish armed forces general severe guru and son must have watched red dawn too many times because he thinks the russians are a common general durance and declared that if invaded by russia sweden wouldn't be able to last a week against the onslaught therefore sweden must immediately join nato he said that currently it is not quite possible to invade sweden but due to the two

thousand and eight war with georgia it is possible for russia to somehow push through established european borders bring their forces up to sweden's gates putting the generals country in danger but guess what according to your own council of the european union georgia started the war so by that logic if the two thousand and eight war with georgia is the example of the future then don't kill russian peacekeeping troops and you'll have nothing to worry about but general goran so also made the point that president putin is rearming the russian army hinting at a threat of being heavily armed to defend yourself is a bad scary thing then joining up with nato seems to be pretty hypocritical if the people of sweden want to join nato well that is their choice but they shouldn't be tricked into having their taxpayers pay for their sons to die in afghanistan based on totally bogus arguments that make no sense but that's just my opinion. wealthy british style it's not on.

markets weiner scandal. happening to the economy because the report. is trash. but it's also a treasure. worth fighting for. and a trap with no way out. if . today. flatow

for these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. today. i'm very pleased to introduce russia's envoy to the united nations with only choking that's a trick and thank you very much for making yourself available for this interview thank you let me begin with iran russia is about to sit down yet again for talks with five other world powers on iran's nuclear program the negotiations are due at

the end of february the u.s. vice president joe biden said that the u.s. was ready for direct negotiations with the with iran do you see it as a breakthrough as a serious push for diplomacy on the part of washington well hopefully of course so we're looking forward to the resumption of the talks of the six. in late february and we have always welcomed the possibility of direct contacts between the united states and iran unfortunately over the years there's been some back and forth some positive statements on the one side were met by negative statements on the other side this time i understand there's been a strong negative statement from high level from tehran which which was saying that those talks were impossible but the iranians are notoriously difficult to negotiators and of course the subject matter is very complex so on each particular issue there are always very difficult discussions but it is. quite

a challenge to make headway but there we believe that there has been some third way on the substance of those discussions but we hope that there is a good point from which the negotiators proceed with making some progress just speaking more generally when when talking about progress in relations with russia i heard many times the administration officials and members of the obama administration say well we've got russia quote unquote on board to put more pressure on iran in what context in what way do you see russia on board with the united states and i want our american colleagues of an interesting way of describing the situation they very often don't to take. as as you try to call them in terms of their american positions and others coming over to those positions this is not the case at all this is not the way we see it when we enter into some discussions with the united states and other partners in various situations will try to find a common position so sometimes they move towards us sometimes it's

a compromise where we have to do to come together midway this is the way we we sort of find a compromise we are prepared to continue working together within the format of the six even though we make no secret of the fact that we think that some of the things which are being done by some members of the six a counter productive because in addition to security council sanctions they piled up all sorts of unilateral sanctions which we believe are not necessary and needed as a matter of principle because once we agree to work together once we develop a certain system based on security council resolutions to add anything on top of that is sort of the wrong thing to do in our view this is creating some humanitarian problems in iran which should not be there it's creating some bad blood in the talks with iran which which is not really necessary if they end i mean u.s. and israel together or separately were about to make the decision to strike iran is

there anything that could stop them you know i hope common sense and good reason will stop them because this will be the worst thing to do well first of all of the opportunities for for dialogue are there nobody nor member of the six including the united states maintains that the that the iranians have already made the political decision to develop a nuclear weapon they they accept they say that as far as they know the iranians have not yet made that decision since this decision has not yet been made even according to them certainly there is room for. for the discussions for diplomacy etc etc a military strike. would certainly make north for the talks with iran possible so every opportunity for political discussions will be lost i agree with those who believe that in fact.
